The planet was covered in bogs, marshes, mountains, and conifer forests of hamogoni trees. Woteba also had a unusual stone that was mined by the Killiks. When the planet was hit by the nova that formed the Utegetu Nebula, all animal life was wiped out, but plant life was restored within two years by the defense system.

The planet seemed a paradise for Killik colonization, but the planet had an ancient environmental defense system that attacked them anytime they interfered with the ecosystem, destroying both structures and living beings with a corrosive substance known as Fizz.

The Killiks believed the Jedi had purposefully sent them to Woteba to fall victim to the Fizz, but this was not true, merely a lie of the Dark Nest.
